Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola admits they fell short of standards for defeat to Fulham.

The Cherries were outplayed for the 3-1 defeat on the day.

Iraola told the Daily Echo: “I think we conceded too much at the beginning of the game, and that's the main reason we didn't get anything from today.

“I will say, after 2-0 I think the team did a lot of very good things. We arrived a lot (in their box), we created a lot of chances. We put them under pressure, but we conceded too much at the beginning.

“The first goal it happens - a player that slips in a dangerous position. But the second one we had the numbers to deal with the cross much better.

“I think we were late to react to the second balls, especially second goal. You can see that there are a couple of situations where they just arrive a little bit earlier, especially in this pitch where there's not a lot of space in the middle.

“Both teams want to get on the ball, we have to be quicker to react to these things.

“The first goal is difficult to blame someone because it's a slip, it's so easy.

“But we have to start with more intensity."
